How to Hang Christmas Lights Around Doors
- 1). Measure the doors that you want to hang Christmas lights around. It is best to know ahead of time how many lights are needed to frame the door.
- 2). Find a close electrical outlet near the door to plug in your Christmas lights. The closer the outlet is to the door the less of a hazard you'll have with extra extension cords everywhere.
- 3). Check your Christmas lights before you hang them. Before you start the task of decorating the door, plug in the lights. Check for burned-out bulbs and replace them with working bulbs.
- 4). Insert nails or tacks in the outside corners of the doors. Also insert the nails or tacks in the center of the door to better secure your Christmas lights. Attach the bucket to the ladder and place the nails inside. In case you are doing the decorating job on your own, the bucket keeps your hands free to climb the ladder and keep safe.
- 5). Hang your Christmas lights around the door, being sure to place the wires around the nails. The nails help hold the lights in place.
- 6). Use the extension cord to plug the lights into an electrical outlet.
